    Ispy is tangentially correct. Don't read his post, it's not in there. Bushwood country club groundskeeper Carl Spangler developed a process to eliminate these using plastic explosives. PM me for more info, it's not something you can openly post, due to the Dali Lama involvement.

    Insect spray along with cooking spray will get rid of them.
    There are not many crowds or places in the country that have a better impact on the game than at Iowa State. The Cyclone fans are truly a sixth man. The place is so loud and always a fantastic crowd." - Former Kansas and current North Carolina head coach Roy Williams
